Aim To investigate the ability of chymase inhibitors o n histamine release from human colon mast cells. Methods Human ma st cells were dispersed from colon tissue with collagenase and hyaluronidase, an d were challenged with stimulus for 15 min at 37℃.A glass fibre-based fluorome tric assay was used to measure histamine in the supernatants of dispersed mast c ells.Results chymase inhibitors ZIGPFM, TPCK and ? 1-antitry psin failed to induce significant histamine release from colon mast cells. All t he chymase inhibitors were able to inhibit anti-IgE induced histamine release i n a concentration dependent manner with a maximum of 37%, 26% and 36.8% inhibit ion being achieved with 1 mmol?L -1 of ZIGPFM, 80 mmol?L -1 of TPCK , 30 mmol?L -1 of ? 1-antitrypsin, respectively. Preincubation of inhib itors of ZIGPFM and TPCK with cells for 20 min at 37℃ before challenging with a nti-IgE was able to slightly enhance their inhibitory actions. All the chymase inhibitors were able to inhibit calcium ionophore induced histamine release, th e maximum inhibition was 23.6%～35%.And the extent of inhibition by TPCK was in creased when colon mast cells were preincubated for 20 min before calcium ionoph ore being added. However, the same treament failed to improve the action of ZIGP FM. Conclusion In the current study, we found that inhibitors o f chymase were able to inhibit anti-IgE and calcium ionophore induced histamine release from human colon mast cells, which may indicate a potential of a novel therapy for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease or other mast cell relat ed diseases.

Objective:To investigate the ability of chymase inhibitors on tryptase release from human colon mast cells.Methods:Human mast cells were dispersed from colon tissue with collagenase and hyaluronidase,and were challenged with stimulus for 15 min at 37℃.Tryptase assay performed following previous procedures.In brief,a 96-well microtitre plate was coated with antiserum to human tryptase.The tryptase levels in the samples were detected with a monoclonal antibody specific to tryptase and the reaction was visualized by addition of OPD.Results:At 15 min and 35 min following incubation,anti-IgE and calcium ionophore were able to provoke significant tryptase release from human colon mast cells.Chymase inhibitors ZIGPFM,TPCK and ?1-antitrypsin had no stimulatory effect on colon mast cells at both 15 min and 35 min incubation periods.All the chymase inhibitors were able to inhibit anti-IgE induced tryptase release in a concentration dependent manner with a maximum of 37%,40% and 36.6% inhibition being achieved with 1 ?mol/mL of ZIGPFM,80 ?mol/mL of TPCK,30 ?mol/mL of ?1-antitrypsin,respectively.Preincubation of inhibitors of ZIGPFM and TPCK with cells for 20 min at 37℃ before challenging with anti-IgE was able to slightly enhance their inhibitory actions.Amastatin,a specific inhibitor of aminopeptidase,had no effect on anti-IgE induced tryptase release.All the chymase inhibitors were able to inhibit calcium ionophore induced tryptase release,the maximum inhibition were 23%-35.3%.And the extent of inhibition by ZIGPFM was increased when colon mast cells were preincubated for 20 min before calcium ionophore being added.However,the same treament failed to improve the action of TPCK.Conclusion:We found for the first time that inhibitors of chymase were able to inhibit anti-IgE and calcium ionophore induced tryptase release from human colon mast cells,which may indicated a potential of a novel therapy for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease or other mast cell related diseases.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine pretreatment on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma radical surgery (HCRS).METHODS:A total of 40 patients underwent elective HCRS were randomly divided into control group (20 cases) and observation group (20 cases).Before operation,observation group was given Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection with loading dose of 0.7 μg/kg within 10 min,maintained at 0.4 μg/(kg.h) until the end of surgery.Control group was given constant volume of 0.9％ Sodium chloride injection as observation group and same anesthetic scheme.The levels ofALT,AST,IL-1,IL-6,CRP and TNF-α,the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups before surgery,4 h,24 h,72 h after surgery.RESULTS:Before surgery,there was no statistical significance in the levels ofAST,ALT,IL-1,IL-6,CRP and TNF-α between 2 groups at different time points (P＞0.05).After surgery,the levels of AST and ALT in 2 groups were significantly higher than before surgery,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statisti-cal significance (P＜0.05).The levels of AST and ALT in 2 groups were decreasing gradually as time.4,24,72 h after surgery,the levels of IL-1 and IL-6 in 2 groups,TNF-α levels 4,24 h after surgery and CRP levels 24,72 h after surgery were significantly higher than before surgery,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group;the levels of TNF-α in 2 groups 72 h after surgery were significantly lower than before surgery,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).The levels of IL-1,IL-6 and TNF-α were decreasing gradually as time.There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P＞0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Dexmedeptomidine pretreatment can relieve hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in HCRS patients,reduce the level of inflammatory cells without increasing the occurrence of ADR.

Objective:Taking into account of the current situation that domestic laws and regulations of medical technology ethics review are not perfect, we put forward practical suggestions on ethical review supervision of the clinical application of new medical technologies from the perspective of standardization.Methods:Referring to the relevant laws, regulations and specific implementation guidelines of ethical review of clinical research, combined with the practical experience of the ethics committee of the host Hospital, this paper systematically summarizes the concept and characteristics and existing problems of new clinical applied medical technology, optimizes the working steps of technology access and ethical review, and establishes an ethical continuing review model.Results:A series of measurements are proposed, which including formulate the access process, improve the management system, optimize ethical review methods, etc. At the same time, pay more attention to the annual continuing review, adverse event report review, suspension/termination of approved research, closure report review, as well as site visit to improve the initiative and efficiency of ethical review. At last, it ensures the continuing of ethical review.Conclusions:It is very important to regulate new medical technology project entry and ethical review supervision in the practice. On one hand, it can effectively make up for the possible shortcomings of current laws and regulations and promote the introduction of new regulatory requirement. On the other hand, it can effectively reduce the medical technology risks and build good medical quality management, improve the system to better safeguard people′s health rights and interests.

Objective:To explore the ways and methods to improve the ability of hospital ethical review and ensure the quality and efficiency of ethical review.Methods:By consulting the literature and combining the practical experience of the construction of the ethics committee and the ethical review work in the hospital, analyze the present situation of ethical review in our country, and deeply analyze the main problems existing in the work of ethical review in hospitals.Results:The quality and efficiency of ethical review can be effectively improved by implementing centralized management, optimizing work processes, establishing emergency response systems, opening green channels, optimizing the composition of committee members, strengthening ethical training and assessment, establishing emergency response systems, opening green channels, strengthening pre-review communication, establishing emergency response systems, opening green channels, strengthening formal review, increasing publicity, and improving ethical awareness.Conclusions:Clarifing the division of responsibilities and strengthen multi-department interaction can effectively improve the efficiency of ethics review. Optimizing the structure of ethics committee, strengthen the training and assessment of members, can effectively enhance the ability of ethics committee review. Unifing the list of documents, optimizing the work flow and the way of examination can effectively shorten the period of ethical examination. It is suggested that continuous ethical training and assessment should be carried out, that an information-based platform system should be used to achieve dynamic supervision, and that a certification system and assessment mechanism for ethics committees should be established at the national level, to promote the improvement of the ability of ethical review.

Objective This paper summarizes and evaluates the existing animal models of Post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS)based on the clinical diagnostic criteria and symptom characteristics of PI-IBS in Chinese and western medicine.The goal of this study is to seek out animal models with a high degree of clinical agreement between Chinese and western medicine,and to provide an accurate animal model for the prevention and treatment of PI-IBS in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods The animal strains,modelling methods,and mechanisms of the existing PI-IBS animal models were summarized based on the clinical diagnostic features and symptomatology of PI-IBS,as well as the degree of match was evaluated and the strengths and weaknesses of the preparation of animal models were analyzed,by reviewing the articles related to PI-IBS animal experiments and the preparation of animal models.Results A thorough analysis discovered that Campylobacter jejuni infection model,Trichinella infection model,and liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome in models of disease and symptom combination showed a comparatively high level of clinical agreement between Chinese and western medicine.Conclusion The existing PI-IBS models had the high degree of coincidence with western medicine,Chinese medicine four diagnoses and syndrome are generally less embodied and collected in the modeling process.The primary symptoms in Chinese medicine diagnosis are primarily based on the observation of animal apparent behaviors,while the observation of the sub-syndrome manifestations is relatively less,which results in failure of judgment of TCM syndrome types.Therefore,it is still necessary to further standardize the criteria for evaluating symptoms and the techniques for identifying disease-syndrome combination animal models.PI-IBS model with the syndrome-clinical characteristics in Chinese and western medicine has significant application value and prospects in the future.The multifactorial composite method of western medicine pathological injury+Chinese medicine etiological stimulation can establish a PI-IBS model with a higher degree of coincidence,which can provide theoretical support for the study of the pathogenesis of PI-IBS,the difference of syndrome,and the prevention and treatment with integrative Chinese and western medicine.It is crucial to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PI-IBS.

【Objective】 To investigate the risk factors of red blood cell transfusion frequency (fRBCT) toward newborns with very/extremely low birth weight (V/ELBW) who experienced <32 weeks of gestational age and were complicated with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), and to explore related complications and predictive indicators that can arise from increased fRBCT, so as to provide safe and scientific blood transfusion recommendations for children with NRDS. 【Methods】 A total of 585 cases of V/ELBW NRDS newborns who experienced <32 weeks of gestational age between January 2016 and December 2020 were retrospectively collected. They were divided into three groups according to the fRBCT throughout their hospitalization[fRBCT = 0(n = 97), 1 ≤fRBCT≤2(n = 253), and fRBCT≥3(n= 235) ]. Clinical data and laboratory parameters of all three groups were compared to identify the risk factors of increased blood transfusion frequency toward V/ELBW NRDS newborns. 【Results】 Statistically significant differences in gestational age (week) (30.72±1.84 vs 29.87±1.66 vs 28.29±1.46), birth weight(g) (1 366.19± 128.12 vs 1 265.20± 163.98 vs 1 081.73± 196.06), hemoglobin level(g/L) (172.37±19.98 vs 161.96±21.41 vs 154.33±24.61) and hematocrit ratio(%) (50.46±5.74 vs 47.69±5.55 vs 45.46±6.84) at admission, as well as duration of hospital stay(d) (40 vs 51 vs 68), non-invasive ventilation(d) (6 vs 11.01 vs 24.56) and intravenous nutrition (IVN) (d) (16.73 vs 22.37 vs 30.74) were found among all three groups (all P<0.05) . Duration of invasive ventilation in Group fRBCT ≥3 (7.66 days) were significantly higher than those in Group fRBCT = 0 and Group 1 ≤fRBCT≤2, showing statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Pairwise comparison of the incidences of hematosepsis (1%, 1/97 vs 4%, 10/253 vs 9.4%, 22/235 ), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (16.5%, 16/97 vs 17%, 43/253 vs 46.8%, 110/235) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (4.1%, 4/97 vs 19%, 48/253 vs 59.1%, 139/235) among the three groups demonstrated statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The incidence of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in Group fRBCT≥3 (26.8%, 63/235) also showed statistically significant differences in relation to Group fRBCT = 0 (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis also proved that duration of hospital stay, invasive ventilation and IVN were independent risk factors for Group fRBCT≥ 3 (OR= 1.048, 1.073, and 1.030; all P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves indicated that duration of hospital stay, invasive ventilation and IVN made better predictors for Group fRBCT≥3. Areas under the ROC curves were 0.841, 0.766 and 0.716, while the corresponding cutoff values were respectively >57 days, >2.75 days and >23.75 days. 【Conclusion】 Increased fRBCT may complicate V/ELBW NRDS newborns who experienced <32 weeks of gestational age with NEC, hematosepsis, BPD and ROP. Duration of hospital stay, invasive ventilation and IVN are relatively effective predictive indicators for whether such cases have undergone ≥3 red blood cell transfusions throughout their hospitalization.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of glucose and lipid metabolism and intrauterine growth indicators in fetuses with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) in twins.Methods:Sixty cases of sIUGR type I twin fetuses who were registered, underwent regular prenatal care, and were hospitalized for delivery at the Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Selected 30 fetuses with growth restriction from sIUGR pregnant patients were taken as the observation group, while the 30 fetuses with non-growth-restricted served as the control group. During cesarean section, the umbilical vein blood of two fetuses was collected after the fetus was delivered and before the placenta was delivered, and the factors regulating growth, development and metabolism in the umbilical vein blood were detected: adiponectin, leptin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B and other indicators. The measurement data of normal distribution are presented as xˉ± s, and the comparison of means between the two groups is performed using paired t-tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:(1) The levels of adiponectin (83.60±8.91) μg/L, leptin (7.11±0.53) μg/L, and IGF-1 (43.43±0.68) μg/L in the umbilical cord blood of the case group were significantly lower than those of the control group (92.50±10.52) μg/L, leptin (12.00±0.66) μg/L, and IGF-1 (70.34±1.44) μg/L, with statistically significant differences ( t-values of 2.94, 31.33, 99.70, respectively; P values of 0.006, <0.001, <0.001, respectively). (2) There was no statistically significant difference in the levels of blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL-C, and apolipoprotein A1 in umbilical cord blood between the two groups of fetuses (all P>0.05). (3) The total cholesterol (2.626±0.764) mmol/L, LDL-C (1.168±0.482) mmol/L, and apolipoprotein B (0.359±0.133) mmol/L in the umbilical cord blood of the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group, with total cholesterol (2.351±0.725) mmol/L and LDL-C (1.043±0.418) mmol/L. Apolipoprotein B was (0.317±0.107) mmol/L, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t-values were 3.42, 3.10, and 3.67, respectively; and P values were 0.002, 0.004, and 0.001, respectively). Conclusion:There are abnormalities in lipid metabolism present in the cord blood of growth-restricted infants. Clinically, adiponectin, leptin, IGF-1, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and apolipoprotein B in twin umbilical blood can be served as key indicators for assessing fetal intrauterine development.

Objective:To compare demographic characteristics,clinical characteristics,therapeutic characteris-tics and physiological indicators of patients with bipolar Ⅰ disorder and bipolar Ⅱ disorder.Methods:A total of 381 patients with bipolar disorder(BD)diagnosed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 th Edi-tion(DSM-5)were selected,including 302 patients with BD-Ⅰ(79.27％),74 patients with BD-Ⅱ(19.42％)and 5 patients with other specific and related disorders(1.31％).Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected with self-designed clinical information questionnaire.Multivariate logistic regression and multivariate linear regres-sion analysis were used for analysis.Results:Compared with patients with BD-Ⅱ,patients with BD-Ⅰ had more risk to have psychotic features(OR=5.75,95％CI:2.82-11.76),longer disease duration,and more repeated transcra-nial magnetic therapy(OR=3.09,95％CI:1.02-9.35),higher uric acid,total cholesterol and high-density lipo-protein.BD-Ⅰ in Han nationality was more common(OR=11.50,95％CI:1.76-75.30),and had lower education level(OR=10.22,95％CI:1.16-89.77),and less family history of psychosis(OR=2.34,95％CI:1.01-5.42).Conclusion:There are significant differences between BD-Ⅰ and BD-Ⅱ in demographic and clinical charac-teristics,treatment status,and physiological indicators,which could provide clues for exploring the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder.
